We need to dictate higher standards from anyone building. The UK housing stock pays lip service in comparison to houses being built in other countries.
As the sunniest area in the UK, whole roof solar, working alongside tight insulation and heat pumps could significantly reduce household bills. Orientation of houses and apartment blocks needs to be considered seriously to make the most use of these assets.
Apartment blocks must now make use of solar with new systems available, including retro-fitting where necessary.
